Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Condition after partition, rural scenes, sincere love, friendship, coach – athlete relationship, discipline, hard work of athlete, etcetera all have been pictured well. I would deduct half a mark because I think movie could have been shortened by 15 minutes or so in second half (3.5/5).Tone: The movie depicts story of a Sikh who after partition moves to India. He grows rogue (because of what he witnesses) until the woman he loves addresses him to become a respected person. This makes him to join army where he finds his athletic skills. The later part is how he keeps on winning and bringing pride to India. At the end, Pakistan gives him the title 'The flying Sikh' and movie ends (4/5).Music: Music is very good (4.5/5). It highly adds to charm of the movie.Acting: Acting is very good (4/5).Final Verdict: It is worth adding to your DVD collection [(4/5) (9/10)].

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag- 2013 Director: Rakeysh Omprakash MehraCinematography was just amazing.Direction was just perfect and the casting was sensibly done. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is an award-winning film. It shows us the life of Milkha Singh through his very own eyes and deserves a standing ovation for its performances, writing and direction. Talking about Farhan Akhtar, he is one of the most superb actors of Indian Cinema. No one could ever play this role of young, energetic, ambitious Milkha Singh the way Farhan did. Claps for him. The songs of the movie were so catchy that despite of three long hours no one would want to leave their seats and miss a scene.Truly Inspiring.

After a disastrous Delhi-6 four years ago, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has a winner at his hand. Direction is perfect, and similar to Rang De Basanti, Rakeysh uses a non-linear narrative to unfold the story beautifully written by Prasoon Joshi. However, though the film starts off great and the first half is perfect, the film loses steam in the second half and feels like a drag thanks to slow screenplay.Ignoring its flaws, the film is still excellent. Farhan comes up with an unforgettable performance. Go learn more about the flying Sikh now!!cting: 9.5/10 Story-Screenplay-Direction: 7.5/10 Technical Aspects: 8.5/10Verdict: 8/10For a detailed review, please visit sasikanth.me :)

BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG is riveting to the core and inspiring. No doubts about that. But the disappointment comes to spoil the thrill.BMB has a runtime of almost 3 hours 15 minutes that is too much. The film's biggest flaw is the editing. The film needs dome serious editing not because its 3 hours but because it gets boring at many places. The training sequence mainly needs trimming. The film is otherwise a good watch because it's brimming with inspiration that young India needs.The direction is good and RAKYESH creates the retro look well. The music by SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY is amazing, especially ZINDA and MERA YAAR.FARHAN AKHTAR is the soul of the film. He's not actually acting- he's being Milkha, he's living Milkha. SONAM KAPOOR was paid 11 rupees for this film. I say she's over-paid. She is a joke amidst all the stunning performers. The rest of the cast does really well.Altogether, watch BMB if slow-paced biopics and inspirational pieces suit your taste. I'll go for a 5 for the film and an extra star for Farhan. So 6/10 for this flick that is dedicated but often falls short and bores you.
